Make it possible to change if to if-else blocks by right-clicking
If you right-click an if block, you should be able to select an option to change to if-else blocks.
Sometimes I drag an if block and put scripts into it, then notice it should have been an if-else block instead. Now I have to drag the script out, and grab an if-else block.
Q. What happens when an if else changes to an if?
A. If there is a script in the else part of the block when it is converted from if-else to if, the script could just move out.
Q. But you can manually drag the blocks from the pallette instead.
A. It is more efficient to use this idea, saving time and having less chance to ruin/misplace blocks in a script you are moving.

True, and if you want to go back to a normal “if/then” loop, you would sometimes end up with weird script isolation… its not that hard to just swap them…
But still, support.

Definite support due to the amount of convenience it would bring. I just feel that replacing an
if <> thenblock would be a definite waste of time.

Support. If there is no script inside the else part, you should also be able to convert to an if.

Hi.
I suggest you systematically use if-then-else blocks, even when a simple if would suffice (leaving an empty lag in that case).

I am supportive of this idea, I also think this should be done with show/hide and show/hide variable
